11 A Better Blue Ribbon Day

This morning we had what I call "dandelion snow" because the slightest breeze will blow it from the trees. The light changed as the sun rose, and I ran out into the cold several times. I haven't reviewed what I captured with my camera yet. If it's better than this phone shot, I will be very pleased.

Apple iPhone XR
1/1468s f/1.8 at 4.2mm iso25 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Replaced with smaller image per comment on another entry.

Don't straighten that large maple tree too much; it's actually curved and crooked.

T - this is a general problem with camera phones and their small lenses. A lot of post processing software like Lightroom has specific modules to fix this problem. It is very easy to fix.

Well, there is one problem that I intend to correct if I get the time...the verticals in most of these shots are tending to curl toward the center and I will try to give them a straightening by skewing the top outwards...we will see how this works. It is a lens problem and fundamental, I sense, to these cameras. Best Wishes, Traveller

HDR?

Capturing a scene like this with your XR is one of the reasons I’m choosing not to go back to a DSLR. Paul
